My Day:
Met with a new Detroit writers group today. Think I'll fit in as it is a very eclectic (hope eccentric, too) group. A little of everyone. Seem talented. Smiles. sas

She lost herself in the trees,
among the ever-changing leaves.
She wept beneath the wild sky
as stars told stories of ancient times.
The flowers grew toward her light,
the river called her name at night.
She could not live an ordinary life,
with the mysteries of the universe
hidden in her eyes....

I think most people are more shocked by how the people die, the easy access to guns etc. But there is genuine empathy and compassion for the victims as well. It is humanity responding to humanity.

Hope everyone is well. I had a pretty good day today.

My angel offered to buy me a mobile phone for my imminent birthday as I have never owned one, almost always being with her and seldom wanting to talk to anyone else. I almost exclusively use online facilities through WiFi networks to communicate remotely with other people, so I have no specific reason to incorporate a mobile phone into my extensive digital technology. In fact she has herself considered emailing me instead of talking just to get a written record of what we discuss and agree because we seem to disagree about it later more frequently nowadays. There is something to be said for discussions that have textual transcripts and timestamps. Regardless of whether this trend indicates that one of us is getting senile, I did think that as I am now in my seventies there may be the odd occasion when a basic pay-as-you-go mobile phone might prove useful.
Anyway, she left me to choose a phone and order it online, which I did today. During that process I was filling in my personal details on the website and then got to a question "Mobile Phone Number". Er, but ...
'Sharing an experience creates a reality.' Create a new reality today.
'There has to be some give and take.' If I can take my time I'm willing to give it.
'The most difficult criticism that a writer has to comprehend is silence.' So speak up.
Pretty stressful. Got 40 hours to finish researching for and start writing and completing this 2000 word essay. ~_~
Aight, change of plans for my fantasy: Mishu Jerni is not an orphan, she has parents and she lives with them by the docks in the capital.
Nitro is running on my PICC and I'm killing brain cells streaming Mysterious Cities of Gold.
Well, perhaps between the two, you are in balance.
